NM01HU10

HU-10 UCI Hardness Tester

Overview

The HU-10 UCI Hardness Tester is a portable hardness measurement instrument designed for testing metallic materials using the Ultrasonic Contact Impedance method. It provides direct hardness readings across multiple commonly used scales, including HV, HRC, HB, and HRB.

Equipped with a large TFT color display, the HU-10 presents measurement results, average values, and stored inspection data in a clear and accessible format. Its compact design, shockproof casing, and angle-independent operation make it suitable for field, workshop, fabrication, maintenance, and QA/QC environments.

The instrument supports 1 kgf, 5 kgf, and 10 kgf UCI probe options for different surface conditions, component geometries, and testing requirements. It can store up to 150 data sets and is designed to comply with ASTM A1038 requirements for portable hardness testing by the UCI method.
